GAS LINE PRESSURE TESTS:

A GAS LINE PRESSURE TEST IS CONDUCTED TO CHECK FOR LEAKS IN A GAS SYSTEM.

ALL ENDS OF THE GAS LINE ARE CLOSED OFF AND AN AIR PRESSURE TEST IS CONDUCTED.

THIS TESTS IS 15 POUNDS OF AIR PRESSURE FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES.

THIS TEST IS SUGGESTED WHEN YOU HAVE UNDERGROUND GAS LINES.

THIS IS DONE BECAUSE MOST TIMES THE GAS COMPANY JUST READS THE METER AND CHANGES THE NAME ON THE BILL.

AS SOON AS YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A GAS ITEM IN THE HOME THE GAS COMPANY WILL SHUT OFF THE GAS AND RUN THERE OWN TESTS AT THIS TIME THE LEAKS IF ANY WILL BE RE-VEALED. THUS COSTING A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY TO REPLACE GAS LINES.

NOTE: THIS IS MAINLY FOR GAS LINES THAT RUN UNDERGROUND.
